In 1750, Thomas Gunn, along with three friends, join the Hudson's Bay Company and sail from Stromness on the Orkney Islands of northern Scotland to York Factory fort on Hudson's Bay. They believe they are starting a new and exciting life in what is called Rupert's Land, but tragedy follows them, striking for the first time on the stormy Atlantic crossing. At the fort, Thomas finds his older brother, Edward, who had joined four years earlier, and married into a new native family. Thomas' first year at the fort is a story of work and discovery, of loss and new hope.

The Jesus Prayer for Peace is a practical, step by step guide to calm, focused, and steady faith. It is built around the Jesus Prayer and shaped by the Philokalic tradition, the long-tested stream of Christian spiritual teaching preserved in the Philokalia. This tradition trains the believer in watchfulness over thoughts, repentance without panic, and the prayer of the heart, so that prayer can become steady in daily life.
